Get the drum sound of Michael Jackson's Thriller

808 time

Load up an instance of EXS24 and call up the factory TR-808 kit. Add the 808 toms as per therecord/screenshot with some subtle tape delay, then cut out the bass below 255Hz so that it doesn’t interfere with the main groove.

Load up another instance of the EXS24 808 on a new channel and record in a clap on beat four of every bar.Add a plate reverb and compress to give the sound more punch and bring up the reverb tail for an authentic Disco clap sound. Add the guitar part, using EXS24’s DX FunkFinga preset sound. Then add Logic’s guitar amp plug-in with a mono/ stereo instance of Averb.
